A simple chocolate sponge cake layered with swiss meringue buttercream and salted caramel sauce

Idk if that’s the right flair or not or if this is even allowed here, but I bought a smash cake for my baby’s professional pictures, long story short I’m really not that happy with the cake, but it was only $30 so not worth arguing with the baker about and I literally need the cake 12 hours after I picked it up. If it weren’t for all the flowers I’d have zero complaints.
I hate them, can I get them off without ruining the rest of the cake?
I already removed the ones on the cake board. I just feel all the flowers take away from the actual theme of the cake and there were no where near this many flowers in the picture I sent to the baker.

We travelled to a different town for our friend's (turning) 2 year old's birthday. 4 hours before we were heading out the mum tells us she is doing under the sea, but hasn't got anything sorted, nothing, not the decorations, food or even cake... so I'm on a mission, go to the shop... Grabbed some stuff, a basic sponge cake and some icing ingredients, dyes, fondant, lollies etc.

Cake was ready in under 2 hours. Pretty proud considering I had no notice. I love decorating cakes!
